I love how this series has slowly evolved from Seth humbly admitting mistakes to him concocting elaborate excuses for them

I love that Seth doesn't give a f*ck about broad appeal; he'll just keep powering through with niche jokes. Delightful Friday morning watch.

Correction: The P.S. would come after the signature, not before. Otherwise it's not a post-script, it's just.... continuing the letter. (This is of course, E.B. White's mistake, not Seth's, as I have no reason to doubt the authenticity of this very real and historically relevant letter.)

“best thing network tv has allowed in a while-not technically” made me actually laugh out loud

This is edging into durational performance art, and when we get there, there are no limits, Seth- KEEP GOING! DONT STOP NOW!

As a European I appreciate dead air comedy so much. I mean....Seth knows how to do it for real.

The pure dedication to a bit watching him struggle to put those gloves on was the best.

I just love these more and more each week. And it's fewer, not less, when you have countable things. Fewer dollars, less money.

Hi, librarian here! So many things wrong with the way you handled "the old and precious letter"! But the main problem is that no self-respecting archivist would put a paper letter into a plastic recipient. (it has to be in a non acidic paper folder or cardboard to preserve the paper, and the plastic would damage the ink) Anyway, thanks for the laughs!

Seth's dedication to a bit is what makes corrections so worth it.

As a lab tech who used nitrile gloves for 20+ years, you're doing everything wrong and it's hysterical!! Thank you!!

As a Conan fan, anybody who thinks this is a Conan ripoff is crazy. Conan had a totally different MO for his Corrections. There is plenty of room for Conan's version and Seth's version, and we should be happy that both exist to entertain us.

So as a Stan I feel it’s my responsibility to say Eminem wasn’t continuously asking us “guess who’s back.” He told us to tell a friend those words so as he demonstrates on the music video the echoing of the question is 1 friend telling another and so on and so on. 🐐 #corrections

Counter-correction: if that jackal said Seth did two less "guess who's back"s than he should have.. ..it's actually two 'fewer'

Even Seth couldn't help but laugh at the absurdity of having to put on new gloves. Love it.

This is the best audience trolling ever! I worked for a newspaper way back in the day. Retired teachers would clip out articles from the paper and mark all the spelling and grammar in red. Most would mail their corrections. Some actually took the time to drop them off at the front desk. I wish, wish we could have trolled them just as hard. Corrections is kind of a delayed wish fulfillment for me. Thank you so much!!

Correction: It is no longer common practice to wear gloves to handle old paper goods, as the loss of tactile feedback tends to cause more damage from handling than the oils from the fingertips. Also, when gloves are used... they are cotton, not nitrile or latex.

I love the inside jokes Seth has with the crew that even we jackals won't get - such as Riley stacking the pictures. The laughter of the crew is enough, I don't need to know more. Also - the way they laughed at the idea of Seth eating caviar tells me what kind of a eater he normally is.

I hope Seth can get more of those letters, it’s so fascinating to learn just what kinda of man E. B. White was. I feel like I can truly appreciate the real Gestalt of his work.

Hey Seth, Here’s a correction.. but this one is for the clowns that say “corrections” is too long. 20 minutes is, in fact, not long enough. Ideal late night episode of my dreams: sizable closer look, guest spot from an SNL alum, and a long ass corrections. Keep it up Meyers.

CORRECTIONS: Seth said that he did the 2nd EB White letter bit "last week". There was no Corrections for the week of March 21st.

God bless you Seth Meyers for being the best talk show host. These bring light to my darkness. Thanks mate.

"Corrections" is one of those things I can't miss. There are so many running jokes. While I appreciate it (because it's awesome), I can't get anyone else into it. You can't help because it's the underpinning of the entire bit, but still... I wish I could get others to understand how great this is. Anyway: thanks, Seth. "Corrections" is one of the funniest things on the interwebs.

Seth, I bought your book, love it. I encouraged my teenage children (one on her 15th birthday) & friends sit in a circle like they're in kindergarten, and read it to them, whilst, drinking my whiskey, in the way I used to read them Dr. Seuss, sober. My besties toddler was here the next day, I read her the title, all she did was turn every page, saying, "I'm not scared, you're scared, rabbit." Can't tell you my favourite memory of the two yet. But, already made 2 in the 2 days I'd owned it.

Another correction for E.B. White (which is unfortunate I guess since it comes about 40 years too late): Charlotte's Web was published in October of 1952 about 6 months before his letter. Granted it could have been a new book about a different spider and pig where once again the spider dies and it just never got published (possibly because it was deemed too similar to his last book?). Anyway if you can relate this to E.B. White's descendants that would be great, especially if it leads to the discovery of an unpublished work. Also hoping corrections did not give you a drinking problem, particularly given that it was originally a journey of self improvement.

How did I start my Friday morning? Just crying with laughter over how bad Seth is at putting on gloves. Still admire his dedication to protecting that totally-real-not-fake-at-all E.B. White letter.

As Seth was putting the gloves on, all I could hear in my mind was "Padding for time! PADDING for TIME!" 😂😂😂 Also: ADORED the " last Corrections of March" going full circle to "This area has been cleaned & disinfected" - bravo!!!! 👏👏👏👏💜

Corrections remains one of my favorite things I look forward to weekly. Ty seth and staff. Please keep shining your lights into the darkness/jackal pit.

I don't see this as any kind of a ripoff of Conan. He had "Fan Corrections" and as we all know jackals are not fans.

I've always enjoyed Corrections but never considered myself a jackal. While I've noticed some of Seth's mistakes I never felt compelled to correct him. But using "less" when you mean "fewer" is a pet peeve of mine. Thanks, Seth, for forcing me out of the closet. I'm now an openly proud jackal.

As a former librarian, Seth playing a faux archivist had me in tears 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I hope this is a reoccurring bit!

I can't wait for next week's Corrections; after the Museum collection's managers see Seth putting on surgical gloves to touch a "historic" document... Definitely one of my favorite Friday must-watch videos - thank you, Seth, writers, and team!!

The wearing half a glove cause it’s too difficult to put on is so damn relatable as a researcher 😂

The star symbol "*" is pronounced "asterisk" and not "asterick". Also, the Library of Congress Guideline for wearing gloves when handling historic books and documents states: "Contrary to widespread belief, gloves are not necessarily recommended to handle rare or valuable books. Gloves (nitrile or vinyl) are always recommended if there is reason to suspect a health hazard (e.g., mold, arsenic). Clean gloves (nitrile, vinyl, or lint-free cotton) are also recommended when handling photograph albums/photographs or books with metal or ivory parts. Aside from those specific situations, it is generally preferable to handle your books with clean hands, washed with soap and thoroughly dried, rather than with gloves.”

The laugh after the lord of the rings joke was great!!! PS This is the GOAT for after work smoking a huge bowl. This is my go-to Friday video while I'm getting baked I'm with that other guy. TY for the hard work

glove bit was the best bit of 2022 so far.... very tarentino like. adding the whole silent gloving, degloving and gloving. so good

Actually catching a taping next week. Looking forward to giving some in-person Corrections

It takes skill to pull out a rubber glove from a box and simultaneously making it give us the finger.. WITH TWEEZERS. 👏👏

Honestly this is the best segment in late night comedy right now. The fact that no audience is allowed makes it even better.

Jackal here: It’s not “two less corrections,” it’s “two fewer corrections.” If you can count a specific number then you have to say fewer. Examples: I have less butter. I have fewer sticks of butter.

I find it fascinating how E.B. White was able to type such a tiny note! That was definitely no consumer typewriter, perhaps my comment last week about him being able to predict the future of typewriters with buttons holds some merit. I am starting to wonder if E.B. had some sort of side business designing and prototyping typewriters that were far ahead of their time!

I like how we see Seth rearrange the cards and then proceed to do a bit about who stacked them!

I finally figured it out! Seth’s cadence and tone is just like Mr. Rogers! Except I’m pretty sure Mr. Rogers never referred to anyone as a jackal.

CORRECTION on CORRECTIONS: Seth said that in Germany you say all the letters. German actually has some silent letters, though they are not that common (eg. words ending in 'ie' will usually just say the 'e', such as 'die Zeremonie', in 'Stuhl' the 'h' is silent, and in 'Bier' you just pronounce the long e).

As a scientist, I don’t recommend blowing into your gloves or using your non-gloved hand to fix the others’ glove. That’ll contaminate them and basically make your efforts to put them on pointless Love corrections! I look forward to watching these every Friday morning!

I love that Seth asked who stacked the book covers. When we clearly saw him take the top one and put it on the bottom just before he started going through them! The audacity to blame Mr Riley!

This is my favorite part of the week which is really depressing to me but I still love it.

To counter the jackals, Conan’s bit was called “Fan Corrections.”

First time I've laughed my ass off watching someone put on rubber gloves (twice) at 5 am. Congrats, Seth!

this is the best bloody thing on YT, thank you Seth and team!

Seth Meyers!! Your struggling with gloves bit had me writhing with laughter!! I think my stomach needs stitches! Ouch!!!

When he did the "guess who's back" bit, I actively remember hoping that he would cut the extra "guess who's back"s, and he did, and I was glad.

I appreciated that you really committed to the glove bit. Keep going the extra mile.

I knew from the thumb nail this was going to be chaotic

Corrections is easily the best part of my week and I SOOOOOOO look forward to it. Thanks to the entire team :)

The EB White letter segment was hysterical. And it also reminded me of years ago when I was watching a live telecast of an episode of the soap opera and the “doctor” and the actor couldn’t get the rubber gloves on before an operation so we actually started operating with the fingers like yours were😂😂😂😂😂 nothing like live TV! But you are a fountain of laughs and fun!

I love how Seth doesn't even put the EB letter away ☺️

Correction: In this letter White talks about their upcoming book 'Charlotte's Web'. The letter is dated 1953, but the book was published in 1952.

I'm watching/listening to this in my car driving alone and I probably look like an idiot smiling and laughing, and I love it

As an old, I truly appreciate seth's occasional johnny carson impressions (esp as he's obv aware that about 2% of his audience wd even know who he's doing) 😂

The internal momentum of corrections? Lol they keep getting longer and longer and I love it haha

Oh my God... The book throw away scene was so perfect... Like The Stooges trying to find the proper sample in a bit. God I love this program.

All the effort into the bit of handling the letter with such painstaking precision and care..........to throw it on his desk unceremoniously when he was done with it 😂

I love this segment so freakin' much and look forward to it each week. Seth is so talented and puts so much into each one for us!!

As a German, I’m glad the „Leitmotiv“ got corrected!! It was really bugging me

"There were a lot of accusations about me having written these letters *due to the fact that* there were a litany of errors in them." My favorite part of that is that you referenced Elements of Style, which called out both "the fact that" and your use of "due to" as being terrible and bad and to be avoided. If that was deliberate, I tip my cap to you.

Can't wait for the explanation why e40 is missing. It seems to have caused quite a kerfuffle in the chronological episode list.....

Correction: this can't be from a Cornell library because the Cornell old manuscripts librarians don't have you use gloves, but rather just wash your hands and handle the paper gently, because you're apparently less likely to damage it that way since you can feel things easier without gloves. I actually Googled it to fact-check myself (just in case) and apparently it's actually a huge debate whether to wear gloves or not. And either way, the debate is on white cloth gloves versus no gloves - latex gloves is a whole other nightmare that I'm sure would give the actual Cornell librarians an aneurysm

1:12 the way he delivered that "two less" was obviously just to troll us jackals. But I don't care, it's "two fewer"! xD

The squeaking of the second pair of gloves as Seth quakes with suppressed laughter 😂😂😂

I was inspired by Weird Al to learn the difference between "less" and "fewer", and now it is irritating to hear them used incorrectly, so... Here I am.

All of you out there, don't take the bait of Seth saying "aster-ick" on purpose. Let him sweat.

I love the fact that he said "finally" before moving in to the E B White letter and the video's for 6 minutes left 😂😂😂

the gloves - greatest thing I have ever watched. Put this on netflix as a series please. Seth opens "historic" letters

"E.B. White suffered from anxiety that began in childhood. He described himself as 'frightened but not unhappy … I lacked for nothing except confidence.'" I can clearly see that anxiety as he writes letter after letter in fear of being judged for his mistakes. He layers it beneath feigned confidence, but he's on the verge... I can only imagine he'll soon crack, and should that be captured in yet another unearthed letter... man oh man.

Seth and Corrections are what keep me going in our hellacious landscape! I so missed you him for a week!

Corrections is really a brilliant way of baiting the jackals to leave comments, thereby ranking the video higher. Sort of similar to how some YT creators ask people to comment with information they could have looked up faster themselves, but on a far higher level. I also find it very relaxing with the slow pacing and mostly topics that does not trigger negative emotions in the way real news topics can.

Love seeing Wally’s bed face on the back of the card 😂 👌

**Careful not to step into a jackaltrap** Corrections episode 40 42 and 43 are missing from the playlist.

I panicked! After last week there wasn't one, and today I couldn't (for a sec ) find Corrections. Please don't ever stop these. Lives depend on it! LOL

Love how you kept it moving with the glove edits. Undetectable *chef’s kiss*

Seth said "asterik" twice. The correct word is, of course, "asterisk"

Swedish jackal here: You mentioned the film "Coda" and said how nice it was that the Oscars can make you revisit something. You can't revisit something not previously visited, or in this case, not previously seen. You're welome. ;^)

OmG. Thanks a lot Seth. You and E.B. White got me kicked out of bed for giggling, snickering, laughing out loud (yes, an actual LOL!,) and shaking the bed...again. Shaking the bed due to holding in my LOL!'s. And now I'm making a sandwich at 2:08 am. So thanks for the extra weight I'll be gaining as well. Sheesh

Absolutely keeping up in classic E.B. style. The progression of E.B. White’s correspondence with Kay is indicative of his many personal letters to people during that timeframe. As a scholar that has poured through the E.B. White Collection housed at Cornell, this non-signing of follow up correspondence proves my thesis that: E.B would never sign his name to anything that he wasn’t 100% sure was the correct decision. He absolutely wouldn’t sign rare corrections letters. E.B. was so concerned about how society and culture would view his writings (a concept in literature and art known as ‘Noble Intent’ or ‘Noble Intention’). This made sure that nobody (jackals included) could criticize his personal correspondences, or anything else he wrote for that matter. A concept known as ‘plausible deniability’. Fucking brilliant Seth! Keep the letters coming, if there are anymore? This just shows the lighter side of E.B. White, and not the stuffy *The Elements of Style* E.B. Bravo, for unearthing these lost E.B. White treasures. Keep them coming!

Seth cracking up at his own jokes is the cutest thing on tv rn.😆

Seth is brilliant ... and gorgeous ... and hilarious! And this is my favorite segment on KZfaq!!

I'm here for the staff's laughter, it is a balm to my soul. I love it * mwah mwah mwah*

Us followers of corrections are gifted with a unique experience of comedy. Even the jokes that run on for months only build upon themselves becoming more funny and special to us select few. A real diamond. Thank you, Seth

I can’t say how I needed this - happy birthday to me!

This deserves a webby (idk if that is applicable) Seriously some of the most wholesome content out there. I love the concept, the gaslighting, the love-hate relationship seth has with the jackles, the sea captain.

Corrections is slowly morphing into 'Seth justifies his bad behaviour' and I absolutely love it.

All that preparation with the gloves, then Seth touches the precious document with his bare thumb. The horror!

My face hurts from laughing.

I'm so glad to see prop comedy properly entering the CORRECTIONS foray.

Many thanks to Seth, his writers, production staff and everyone involved in LATE NIGHT WITH SETH MEYERS! 🤩

Two 'fewer' "guess who's backs."

"who stacked these?!", twenty seconds after putting his own book at the bottom of the stack. Don't assume we're blind, funny man!!

For over thirty minutes I thought Seth was super high and drunk. Near the end I noticed it was playing back at half speed. Did I laugh more than normal, yes. Was it better? You decide for yourself.

On this day I have to say that this week was actually perfect and I have no corrections. Happy 1st of April
